Hendrik Willem van der Merwe

M, #6551, b. 17 August 1698, d. 23 September 1762
Father-Putative*Willem Schalks van der Merwe b. c 1640, d. 12 Jul 1716; Even though the parents of this child are recorded as Willem vd Merwe (correct) and Anna Prevost (incorrect - she was married to Schalk vd Merwe) in this record, it is quite unlikely he is Anna's child. She and her husband baptised another son just four months later, and there doesn't seem to be any evidence she delayed the baptisms of her children. I have therefor assigned this child to Willem vd Merwe and Elsje Cloete, as putative parents.1,2
Mother-Putative*Elsje Cloete b. b 28 Feb 1655, d. a 22 Jan 1702; Even though the parents of this child are recorded as Willem vd Merwe (correct) and Anna Prevost (incorrect - she was married to Schalk vd Merwe) in this record, it is quite unlikely he is Anna's child. She and her husband baptised another son just four months later, and there doesn't seem to be any evidence she delayed the baptisms of her children. I have therefor assigned this child to Willem vd Merwe and Elsje Cloete, as putative parents.1,2

    Important Note: Even though the parents of this child are recorded as Schalk vd Merwe and Anna Prevost in this record, it is quite unlikely he is their child. They baptised another son just four months later, and there doesn't seem to be any evidence they delayed the baptisms of their children. I have therefor assigned this child to Willem vd Merwe and Elsje Cloete, as candidate parents.
